Well, I don't know any human moms who would give their breast milk to anyone
except a child she was raising, although I know a few do. And I can't
imagine
any human moms that would allow the young of another species to suckle or or
someone to pump her body for milk for food of another species.

Jean Liedloff who wrote The Contnuum Concept about her experiences with the
Yequana tribe in the jungles of Venezuela said that she saw women suckling
orphaned baby monkeys. Apparantly it was an accepted practice there. BTW it
was common for mothers to nurse human babies in the tribe other than their
own.
